Tax Services That Help You Keep More of What You Earn

Paying tax is part and parcel of running a business—but paying more than you need to? That’s something we help you avoid.

At JDH Accountants and Business Advisers, we go beyond basic compliance. Our tax services are designed to help you minimise your tax liabilities, plan ahead, and gain better control over your business finances. Whether you’re a sole trader, limited company, or somewhere in between, we tailor our advice to suit your structure and goals.

Here’s how we can help:

• ✅ Proactive Tax Planning
  We’ll review your figures well before your financial year-end. With early access to accurate bookkeeping and accounts, we can identify opportunities to reduce your tax bill—before it’s too late to act.

• ✅ Maximise Allowances and Reliefs
  From personal allowances to business expenses, we’ll make sure you’re claiming everything you’re entitled to. We also look at whether operating as a sole trader or limited company offers the best tax position for you.

• ✅ Early Tax Return Preparation
  We don’t believe in leaving things to the last minute. Preparing your tax return early gives you time to plan, budget, and avoid surprises when the payment deadline arrives.

• ✅ On-Time Tax Submissions
  We ensure your tax return is filed on time—helping you avoid penalties and interest charges while staying in HMRC’s good books.

Smart tax planning doesn’t just save money—it gives you peace of mind. And the earlier you get started, the more you can gain.

Real Results: How JDH Helped Clients Save Money and Stress

Case Study: From Late Filing Chaos to Peace of Mind (And Over £3,000 Saved!)

One client came to us feeling overwhelmed and under pressure. He owed significant late filing penalties to both Companies House and HMRC, and had fallen behind on multiple tax areas. He was hesitant to work with us initially—our fees seemed higher than those of his previous accountant.

However, we took the time to break down the full picture. When he added together what he was paying in penalties and the lower accounting fees, it actually equaled what he would pay working with us—but with far more peace of mind and proactive support.

Once he agreed to move forward, we rolled up our sleeves. Over six months, we worked through everything: CIS, CITB, Corporation Tax, Income Tax, and more. We cleared the backlog, got him compliant, and even completed strategic tax planning that saved him over £3,000 in just one area of his tax affairs.

To support ongoing compliance, we also trained his partner in basic bookkeeping—empowering them to take control of their finances moving forward. Today, he knows exactly what’s owed, can budget properly for tax, and most importantly, he’s far less stressed than when we first met.

Case Study: The Disappearing £10,000 Tax Bill

A business owner approached us with a major concern—he had been handed a £10,000 tax bill that didn’t seem right. He had worked with a low-cost, franchised accountant and had hoped to save money, but something didn’t sit well.

He asked us for a second opinion.

We reviewed the bookkeeping and immediately spotted a basic, but costly, mistake—an error that clearly showed a lack of understanding of standard bookkeeping principles. We corrected the sales figures and recalculated the return. As it turns out, he was absolutely right: he didn’t owe a penny.

That error could have cost him £10,000. Instead, he walked away with zero liability—and a valuable lesson: hiring a cheap accountant can be far more expensive in the long run.

With JDH, he got the right advice, accurate reporting, and the confidence that comes from working with experienced professionals who truly understand tax.
